About Excel to CSV
Excel workbooks can contain several sheets, formatting, formulas, and workbook-specific features, while CSV is a plain-text table format. This tool exports one worksheet as comma-separated UTF-8 data for data exchange and import workflows.
Why use this tool
- Export a specific worksheet instead of an unintended sheet.
- Produce a broadly supported plain-text data file.
- Move data into import workflows without manually copying cells.
Privacy and security
Your workbook goes directly from your browser to the Choosify document API for processing. WordPress does not receive the upload, add it to the Media Library, or store it in WordPress content. API processing is temporary and follows the backend’s configured behavior.
Frequently asked questions
Which Excel formats can I convert?
The tool accepts .xls and .xlsx workbooks up to 25 MiB.
What happens if I do not enter a worksheet name?
The API exports the first logical worksheet. Enter a name for another sheet; matching is case-insensitive.
Will CSV preserve workbook formatting and multiple sheets?
No. CSV represents one table and does not preserve workbook styling, charts, or multiple worksheets.
Why would a worksheet name be rejected?
It must identify an existing sheet. Check its spelling and spaces, or leave the field blank to use the first sheet.
